Until that day, Everest Çaka had maintained a low profile in Elbasan, even though he was known in the area as one of the strongmen with a dark past.
The 41-year-old was eliminated in a well-organized assassination attempt that began with the staging of an accident. His car was hit from behind as he tried to drive away.
At that moment, a barrage of bullets was fired towards Çaka, leaving him dead on the spot. His wife, who was wounded by a bullet in the arm, was a witness.
"I saw a man come up to the driver's window and hold a gun in his hands. He shot Everes several times, in the neck and chest. One bullet hit me in the arm."
Five years later, the incident remains unsolved and the perpetrators were never discovered.
The victim was the cousin of Arjan alias Ardit Spahiu, known by the nickname 'Little Arjan'. Spahiu was executed in Belgium on November 27, 2020, in the "Molenbeek" neighborhood of Brussels.
But, in addition to the numerous hostilities, the victims Arjan Spahiu and his cousin Everest Çaka have been involved in a conflict for years that has been talked about little or not at all.
A conflict that was well known in Elbasan: the old enmity between the Alikaj – Mahmuti families on the one hand, and the Çaka – Spahiu families on the other. This was the reason that after the murder of Everest Çaka, relatives of the Alikaj family were called to the police. This is Vladimir Merxhani, son-in-law of the Alikaj family, whose two sons were killed in this clash. Vladimir recounts for the first time the story of the crimes that have remained unsolved, while also mentioning specific names that, according to him, can lead to the full truth.
A story that also brings into the whirlwind of information the repentant justice seeker, Erjon Alibej, one of the closest people to the late cousins Everest Çaka and Arjan Spahiu...
"I was at home, with the 3 boys and they took me with the 3 boys, I didn't know why I was going to the police, do the math. They kept me at the police station for about 21 hours, why should I care about Everest Cala? They knew Ladi and Ladi's brothers, why did they suspect me. So I only ask one thing from the police and the prosecution: that justice only goes where it should and Erjon Alibej comes out with those statements of his..." said Vladimir Merxhani, the brother-in-law of the Alikaj brothers.
"I have the impression that for once the prosecution is asking general questions: what do I know about the event or the person so that it doesn't give him reason later to say that you didn't ask me about these. These are investigative techniques to exhaust this procedural aspect," said Ermal Yzeiri, a lawyer.
"The statements of a collaborator of justice cannot be selective; if they are selective, there is no longer an agreement, if there is no longer an agreement, he loses his status. The basic element on which the relationship is established, that is, a person receives certain benefits from the relationship, is the fact that it must be true and not selective," said Florian Bonjaku, former prosecutor./ Inside Story
